We can’t think of anything, because we don’t know where you live or how curious your child is. Maybe you live in a ranch and don’t have a staircase, which would negate your need for a gate.

Bottom line: Assess your needs and then implement them. And by all means, don’t take any notice of others who may wonder if you are overdoing it. When your baby is at this death-defying age, there is no such thing.
